Recipes and tales from a serial weight watcher

Tag Archives: Slow Cooker

Hello fellow freestylers! Are you excited about the new program? I’m going to go more into my thoughts on in on the weekly weigh-in post, but I wanted to post this today to help all of you that need a fast and easy 0 Smartpoint dish!

Now I do have to warn you, the chicken broth has a point if you eat the whole thing. I’d love the meet the person who could, because after eating just a bowl of this for lunch I could barely eat dinner.

It’s warm, filling, and definitely feels like comfort food!

Ingredients:

2 Cans Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
1 Can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1 Can Kidney Beans(be sure to get the kind without sauce), drained and rinsed
1 Can Corn

So who doesn’t love Chicken Lemon Rice Soup? It’s comforting and delicious. Most people don’t have this unless they are at a restaurant, but that would change if they realized how easy it is to make at home!

It is even easier if you have an Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker! I use the 6 Quart Instant Pot religiously. I seriously do not think I would have been half as successful with my weight loss without it!

This soup is so good. I took some to work (with extra for the coming days) and after smelling it everyone in my office had ate it up. I guess I need to get to planning more lunches for the week!

Before I go into the recipe I want to show you what type of bulgar I use:

It is important to get the larger grain Bulgar. I’m sure it would work with the smaller kernels, but I haven’t tried it and don’t know what kind of mouth feel you will get with it. I talk about my love affair with Bulgar here: Smart Swap – A Love Letter to Bulgar Wheat

It doesn’t matter the brand, just try and get the largest kernel you can. You usually find this in the International Isle at your grocery store, or you can buy in bulk at Whole Foods and stores like that.
